Backyard pools tend to fall into familiar patterns: a few laps, some floating, and a lot of splashing around on weekends. The iGarden Swim Jet X Series, the world’s first AI-powered portable swim jet, wants to make those routines feel entirely new.

The device attaches to most pools with a simple clamp, and its upcoming crowdfunding launch in early to mid-March 2026 signals a major shift in what…

For the last decade, the gaming and typing standard was the “clicky” switch (think Cherry MX Blues).

The new obsession is the “thock”: a deep, muted, and satisfying acoustic signature. This is achieved through multi-layer sound-dampening foams, silicone gaskets, and factory-lubricated linear or tactile switches. Your keyboard shouldn’t sound…

A new entry powertrain — 110kW, 51kWh battery, around 211 miles of range — now sits at the bottom of the lineup for buyers who don’t need to squeeze every mile out of a charge. Bump up to the 69kWh pack and you’re looking at closer to 296 miles. The Cross Country variant got some love too, adding a Plus trim and a single-motor option that’s easier on the wallet and the battery. Step inside and it actually feels different this…
